All the comparisons aside, I've looked at a buttload of these VS videos, wherein benchmarks are clear the Bionic processor is significantly faster. Put both of these phones under real world loads and there really doesn't seem to be much difference at all, in most cases.Both units provide instantaneous response, and buttery smooth operation. Case Closed. Buy the phone / OS you love, and enjoy.

I don't get the point… 1000$ for a phone that has no jack and no fingerprint sensor and the killing feature is only face id, for me it seems too much…on the other hand note 9 at 1000$ has way more features than iphone (i'm an iphone guy).
